In last week's computer tip I showed you how to backup your Outlook Express emails. This week I'll show you how to make a backup copy of your Outlook Express Address book (Outlook Express actually uses the Windows Address Book as it address book, so technically it's two separate things). Here are the steps for Windows XP: 1. Click on Start 2. Click on Search 3. A window will appear that will give you option on what to search for. Click on All Files and Folders 4. The next option will ask you what criteria to search by. In the white box that says "All of part of the file name" type *.wab and then click on More advanced options. Put a check in the box that says "Search hidden files and folders" 5. Click on the Search button. This will start the search and soon will display all the "Windows Address Book" files. 6. Once the search has completed you will see at least one address book file. You can now right-click on this file and copy it. Then you can paste it on a USB flash drive or even burn it to a CD. If there is more than one address book file it means that these might belong to other users of this computer. You can also back these up copying them. Hope you find this tip useful. Next week we will cover Outlook backup. Have you had your computer serviced recently? Call us on 0402 936 861 to schedule a time.
